I agree you got to be pissed at the seller. Guy that bought them didn't really do anything wrong. Depending on what the seller said to him. Sounds like the seller just opened it up to the highest bidder. When buying anything on craigslist. You gotta plan on the people not knowing a damn thing about anything 914. Like this car has no rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I don't know how many times I have driven out to see a garage quenn RUSTED PIECE OF $HIT! Yes the battery tray is still there & how it came from the factoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What with that angle iron on there? Oh thats not how it came (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Back to the guy selling. Unless I am physically there I don't count on jack. Had this happen way to many times. Sometimes you can trust the person on the phone. I can see the flip side too. I've sold plenty of things on craigslist to people. I'll be down in 2 hours with the cash. Can you hold it for me? Sure & they never show or call again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

BTET - been there, experienced that. 20 years ago a guy was selling his 914-6. We met. I test drove it. We negotiated and agreed on a price. It was not some screaming deal. We agreed to meet the next day to transact. I took a day of vacation to go to the bank. Money in hand, I call him telling him I'm on my way. Message on his answering machine "If you're the guy coming to pick up the car, it's been sold". No sorry, no nuthin'. A rather surely and indifferent tone to boot. In PP transactions expect zero integrity, or atleast don't be surprised by it.

I agree your gripe is with the seller. He is the one to rant and rave about.

The seller is clearly at fault here. If he promised to hold them then he should have. From a legal standpoint there was no contract as consideration had not been recieved form you. I have advertised stuff on craigslist and had people want to have me hold stuff for them.
The simple way is to either say first to show up will get it. I've held stuff before for guys that never show up, leave me the number, I'll call you if some one beats you to it. |

Exactly the same thing happened to me Wednesday, here in Houston. Guy with a wrecked Buell, needed parts that I have in the garage. I confirmed I was on my way and when I got there the buyer had just left. He offered $200 over the asking price, the guy agreed.
I called the seller an asshule, but truthfully I understand what he did. I've sold enough things on Craig's List to know that maybe one in ten people who say they're on the way over ever show up. So in practice the rule ends up being first one there with the money. Not a good rule of course, but that's how it works. Thing is that they STILL have to call before they bang the gavel. No excuse not to. Or they're asshules. |
